Both teams had a man sent to the sinbin after a brief skirmish shortly before half-time.

Lions quickly increased their lead in the second-half.

A fine break by Brendon Gibbins saw captain Danny Glassell go over.

Queens latched onto a stray Lions pass to score a converted try that cut the gap to 28-10 but Featherstone dominated the rest of the game with Craig Barker, Adam Hepworth, Sam Millard and Scott Wilson to the fore in defence.

Johnson scored the game’s best try when he brushed aside four defenders in a superb 55-yard individual effort.

Wilson, who had his best ever game for the Lions, then made a lovely break before sending Glassell racing 40 yards for his second try.

Hardcastle’s scintillating break led to Candlin grabbing a 50-yard try before teenager Young showed superb pace to set up the final try for Ian Jackson.
